Overview

• Applications are open now via Bungie.net through October 16, with Steam requests opening October 13 for PC players.
• Participants must sign a strict nondisclosure agreement and cannot stream, record, or share impressions publicly.
• The test targets specific changes including three maps, five runner shells, proximity chat, re‑tuned combat pacing, a solo queue, and deeper environmental storytelling.
• Access is limited to invited players on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam in North America and Europe.
• Bungie says the build is a work in progress focused on early experience and will be followed by a public development update, with no new launch date as Sony’s CFO has said she expects release by March 2026.
